 Italy's top orchestral percussionist, Andrea Centazzo has composed and performed lyric operas, orchestral symphonies, and percussion solos. Since 1983, Centazzo's attention has been focused on multimedia productions incorporating traditional and electronic instruments and video tape. Centazzo has been praised for his ability to "synthesize Oriental percussive vibration with timbal understanding of contemporary music and the soul of jazz and rock." Centazzo first attracted attention as a sideman for such avant-garde artists as John Zorn, Steve Lacy, and Don Cherry. The possessor of a doctorate in musicology, he has taught seminars and workshops in Europe and the United States. A prolific writer, Centazzo has composed more than 350 pieces and has authored eight books on musicology. ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide

see photo above of Andrea with John Zorn and Eugene Chadbourne in 1978 --nothing to do with this record, but a cool photo !!!! (found at andreacentazzo.com )

RCA in Italy had a bunch of Sattelite labels in the early 70's and released a lot of great non-commercial music. Vista only lasted for one series of releases in 1975.

Here's some info that I found interesting:
VISTA
This short-lived label was intended as a haven for jazz, avantgarde and generally alternative artists, but it only produced a handful of LP's and a lonely single, all the albums being released in May 1975.
 The label was revived in 1976 and was planned to release Pierrot Lunaire's second album Gudrun, but this came out on IT instead, and only a single by that group appeared on Vista.

Both albums and singles shared the same numbering singles as contemporary RCA releases.
 The records had a silver label, with promotional releases having a white label.
 All the issues carried the writing "prodotto dalla IT per conto della RCA-Italiana", that means they were produced by It on behalf of RCA.

The discography below is the complete Vista production.
